Animals have been a constant in my life. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and that hasn't changed! These days my two ragdolls pretty much run the household (and I wouldn't have it any other way). Because of them I'm well practiced at brushing out long coats, and over the years I've gotten comfortable giving medications and dealing with the injury care. I am also extremely familiar with the vast ranges of personalities that cats have (sweethearts, grumps, and the ones that are a bit of both!).
